Chapter Ninety-Nine: Old Acquaintances
When Yu Xiaotian received the holy decree to leave for Denglai to quell the rebellion, at that time, in fact, the rebels had already begun to attack Laizhou City, and in the past two months, the rebels have been storming Laizhou City, trying to knock Laizhou City down, but Xu Congzhi and other officials also know the importance of Laizhou City, and even if it is for their own lives, they have to lead the Laizhou army and civilians to fight to the death in the city.
According to Yu Xiaotian's record in history, Xu Congzhi should probably be during the siege of Laizhou City by the rebels, when he was supervising the battle in the city, he was hit by the rebels' cannon and died of serious injuries on the spot.
But this time, listening to the reports of his subordinates, Xu Congzhi did not seem to be dead, but only injured, which seems to have changed from the original trajectory of history.
However, the general historical development has not undergone major changes, and Zhu Dadian was still appointed by the imperial court as the new governor of Shandong and came to Qingzhou Mansion to preside over the counterinsurgency.
In addition, the biggest change may have been caused by himself, it turned out that the main force that finally defeated the rebels in history should be the Guan Ning Army outside the Guan, among which there are even many historical celebrities Wu Xiang, that is, the father of the big traitor Wu Sangui, who also took Wu Sangui to participate in this counterinsurgency.
But now because of his appearance, the situation has changed dramatically, the imperial court did not transfer a large number of Guan Ning troops into the Guan to quell the rebellion, but transferred him from Fujian, thousands of miles away, to Shandong, to participate in this counterinsurgency, and he is destined to become the main force in this counterinsurgency army, and the battle of Tongguò is brilliant.
And Zhu Dadian was appointed as the new governor of Shandong, presiding over the counterinsurgency, Yu Xiaotian also knew it, and Zhu Dadian and he were also acquaintances, in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Dadian happened to be in Fujian, and at that time Zhu Dadian was in Fujian as the deputy envoy of Fujian.
During Zhu Dadian's tenure in Fujian, it was Yu Xiaotian's sea wolf that arose in Fujian, and it was when Zhu Qinxiang wanted to attack him during his arrival, and the Dutch were also very active in Fujian at that time.
This Zhu Dadian, as one of the celebrities he knows, of course, has to take special care of it, during Zhu Dadian's tenure as the deputy envoy of Fujian, Yu Xiaotian secretly sent people to deal with him, and gave Zhu Dadian a lot of generous gifts, Zhu Dadian actually opposed Zhu Qinxiang's desire to send troops to attack Nanri Island, but Zhu Dadian did not have much say in Fujian at that time, and he could not help Yu Xiaotian much in this matter.
But in terms of his attitude towards the red-haired people, Zhu Dadian is very resolute, and has always asked to deal with the red-haired people first, and then talk about the sea wolf, this matter is still accepted by Yu Xiaotian.
Later, Zhu Dadian was promoted to Fujian's right to participate in politics because of his meritorious service in dealing with the Hongmao people's invasion of Quanzhou, Yu Xiaotian knew that this person might be useful in the future, and always kept in touch with him secretly, and from time to time he would send people to give him gifts, and the amount of gifts was not light, Zhu Dadian still admitted it.
His father died of illness, and Zhu Dadian returned to his hometown to keep the system in accordance with the rules, but Yu Xiaotian did not take tea because of Zhu Dadian, and every year during the festival, he did not save a gift that should be given to him, and he took special care of people to have a good relationship with him.
Chongzhen three years Zhu Dadian really recovered, back to Fujian to serve as the right to participate in politics, it can be said that the official reinstated, soon was recruited to the Beijing division to serve as the right to the imperial history, this time just in time for the Denglai Rebellion, Xu Congzhi was injured and could not see things, Shandong should have a person to preside over the suppression, so Zhu Dadian was in accordance with the original historical trajectory, really in danger of being ordered, was appointed by the imperial court as the governor of Shandong.
As soon as he heard the news, Yu Xiaotian laughed, it seems that the silver he spent in advance really didn't have white flowers, Zhu Dadian's dark line, he has been raising it for many years, starting from the fifth year of the Apocalypse, it has been at least seven or eight years now, and now he finally uses this line.
Zhu Dadian has really taken a lot of benefits from him over the years, but Yu Xiaotian has never let him do anything for himself, but he has always been polite to him, when Zhu Dadian was reinstated in three years, and when he was reinstated as an official in Fuzhou, Yu Xiaotian also made a special trip to visit him, Zhu Dadian tried to ask him implicitly at that time, Yu Xiaotian treated him like this, did he have any requirements.
At that time, Yu Xiaotian was talking about righteousness and awe-inspiring, so he was a sycophant, and he took Zhu Dadian very coolly, saying that he was just admiring his personality, and he didn't have the idea of bribing him, just to befriend him.
Zhu Dadian really believed it at that time, and patted his chest and promised that as long as he could use him in the future, he would definitely help Yu Xiaotian.
Then Zhu Dadian went to the Beijing Division, and became the right to the imperial history, for more than a year, in the Beijing Division, he also spoke to Yu Xiaotian, this time he was transferred to Xiaotian to the north to beg for thieves, at first Zhu Dadian still wanted to stop, and did not want the court to find this drudgery for Yu Xiaotian, it can be seen that Zhu Dadian is also a grateful newspaper, and he really wants to do something for Yu Xiaotian.
Now that Zhu Dadian has been ordered to come to Shandong as a governor, the first thing is to find a way to quell the rebels, but at the moment Zhu Dadian has not many soldiers and horses available!
In Shandong, there are now about 4,000 Sichuan soldiers, more than 7,000 Zhejiang soldiers, less than 15,000 Lu soldiers, but among these soldiers and horses, there are almost no soldiers and horses that can fight, needless to say Sichuan soldiers, more than two months ago, they still have more than 8,000 people, under the leadership of Deng Xi, the general of the Ming army, and Wang Hong, the deputy general, went to aid Laizhou.
But Deng Xi and Wang Hong knew that they didn't know whether they were going to appease the rebels next, so they hesitated, stopped advancing dozens of miles away from Laizhou, and waited to see the direction of the wind, Kong Youde saw their idea of cowardice, and suddenly led the army to raid their camp, as a result, the Sichuan army was defeated and dispersed, and now only more than 3,000 people have been gathered.
So not long after the Sichuan soldiers defeated the rebels, the army had no fighting spirit and low morale, and now they can't get it on the table at all, and when they were defeated, they almost lost everything, and now there are more than 3,000 Sichuan soldiers, and they can't even match the weapons, and the armor is even less pitiful, and they don't think they are enough to see when the auxiliaries, so don't expect them to be of great use.
The remaining thousands of Zhejiang soldiers, not to mention, Zhejiang soldiers have never been very capable of fighting, don't look at Qi Jiguang when he first started, the initial team of the Qi family army was from Yiwu, Zhejiang, but over the years, the Zhejiang soldiers have never heard of anyone who can fight, and these Zhejiang soldiers, or more than two years ago, transferred from Zhejiang to the north of the generals, have long thought of returning, and the combat effectiveness is said to be very low.
As for those Shandong soldiers, it is even more of a scumbag of war, during this time, the rebels and Shandong soldiers and horses have fought a lot, the Shandong soldiers have never won a trace, fought a battle and lost a battle, suffered heavy losses, many Shandong soldiers in order to survive, can only choose to switch to the rebels, become the rebels' cannon fodder regiment.
Psychologically, now the Shandong generals feel their livers tremble and their legs are weak when they mention the rebels, and it is a joke to expect them to defeat the rebels.
In another time and space in history, in fact, the main force to quell the Denglai Rebellion this time was still the Guanning Army outside the Guan, this group of Guanning Army had just suffered a defeat in Dalinghe City, and finally escaped back to Jinzhou, and was transferred to Guannei to quell the rebellion, don't look at them Can't beat the Jiannu Army, but when dealing with the rebels, they still have two brushes.
And the Liaodong generals who were transferred into the pass, knew that in the battle of Dalinghe City, they did not look good, and the court was looking at them unpleasantly, if they entered the customs to quell the rebellion this time, and then did not make some credit, they were afraid that their heads would not be protected, so after leading the troops into the pass, they became quite fierce, and under several battles, they beat Kong Youde's rebels to the ground, and finally united with other soldiers and horses, first took the siege of Laizhou, and then captured the rebels and occupied Dengzhou City.
Generally speaking, the Guanning army is indispensable to quelling the rebel rebellion, as for the other people and horses, they are all supporting roles, and they just coaxed, only when attacking Dengzhou City, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life saw that the rebels were gone, so they made some efforts under the morale boost.
But at present, the imperial court transferred Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers to Denglai, but did not use the Guanning army to enter the Guan to quell the rebellion, so the entire Shandong side, in Yu Xiaotian's view, only his subordinates have real combat effectiveness, and will become the absolute protagonist of this battle.
Of course, if he wants to impress the people of the world with his Yu Jiajun, and if he wants Zhu Dadian to rely on him, then he can only show some skills first and let them all see and understand.
Zhu Dadian has some understanding of the soldiers he brings, Yu Xiaotian has repeatedly used troops in Fujian over the years, it can be said that he has won many battles, never defeated, and his combat effectiveness is quite strong, there is no doubt about this, Zhu Dadian is in Fujian to see things, as long as his ears are not deaf and his eyes are not blind, Zhu Dadian must know something.
Now that Zhu Dadian is sitting in Qingzhou, he will definitely have an understanding of the situation of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and now Zhu Dadian wants to use troops and quell the rebellion, as long as he has no problem with his brain, he must understand who to rely on, not to mention that Zhu Dadian has taken so many benefits from him over the years, and now he should always pay a little.
So Yu Xiaotian instructed Meng Fei to preside over the matter of the soldiers and horses getting off the ship to settle and recuperate, and after thinking about it for a while, he discussed it with Lin Yiyang, and immediately sent people to Pegasus to Qingzhou Mansion to report to Zhu Dadian and inform Zhu Dadian that now he Yu Xiaotian has led the troops to Jiaozhou Bay and has begun to go ashore to rest.
Moreover, Yu Xiaotian sent someone to tell Zhu Dadian that he was willing to listen to Zhu Dadian's dispatch this time, and after he led the troops to rest in the area in front of Fushan for a few days, so that the soldiers could recover, he would immediately raise troops and go to Pingdu Prefecture, first conquer Pingdu Prefecture, and then he would wave his army to Laizhou to relieve the siege of Laizhou!
After doing this, Yu Xiaotian met with the officials of Jiaozhou on the side of Fushan, and after the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Yu Xiaotian officially took over the defense of this area, and with a wave of his hand, the area of dozens of miles in front of Fushan was zoned within the scope of his control.
